If you were to give a speech

They call it a commencement speech.

You know, the speech someone gives at a graduation as the students are about to commence their journey into world.

If you were to give such a speech to ten thousand people about to start their adult lives, what would you say?

What advice would you give them so they could soar?

Really… I mean it – what are the three things you would advise?

1.
2.
3.

Now, take your own advice and try it on for size as you think about your own plans and dreams 🙂

You do still have dreams don’t you?

My best wishes, Paul
